2024 Health and Wellness Careers Event

Our annual Health and Wellness Careers event will open your eyes to the incredible variety of career opportunities available to you as non-clinical health professionals.

About the event

Are you studying a non-clinical subject in the Faculties of Medical and Health Sciences or Science? This is a three-part career event tailored to help you discover the areas you could explore in your future work life.

  • Connect with employers from the many and varied industries in the health sector
  • Find out about the opportunities available to you in these organisations
